Events and Fundraisers

Spring Fling

Every year, the Otis School PTA holds its biggest fundraiser of the year, the Spring Fling, which contributes about 35% of the PTA budget. Funds raised at the (usually) adults-only event benefit Otis Elementary students, teachers, and families by supporting PTA-funded enrichment programs including the STEAM lab, our social-emotional learning curriculum, assemblies, field trips, parent education, non-teaching staff, and more. Live and silent auctions, dinner and dancing are usually part of these themed parties.

This year, of course, we’re doing things differently:

SPRING FLING 2020 - SPEAKEASY SOIREE...AN ONLINE AFFAIR

This year’s event is an online-only affair. We will still have all the same goodies on offer — parties, gifts from our teachers and staff, collaborative art pieces, goods, services and experiences galore — but it will take place online, it’s free for everyone, and kids are welcome to participate.

Learn more about how the auction, and the party, will work by reading our FAQs; more details about the event are also below.

Collaborative Class Artworks @ the Speakeasy Soirée

Under normal circumstances, the entire school would get a chance to preview the priceless class art projects at Art a la Mode before they go up for auction at Spring Fling. This year’s Art a la Mode was canceled, but our devoted Art Docent volunteers (whose work is made possible in part by money raised at the Spring Fling) are hard at work putting together beautiful works of art to be unveiled at the online auction.

Funds raised through your generosity are critical for our school programs. We need your help this year more than ever! We hope that you will be able to join us in our online auction and help us reach our goal of $60,000!
